Most studies of the world economy focus on highly developed countries and only on economic strategies. The New Global Economy in the Information Age is unique in integrating the political with the economic and in the truly global view it takes of the changes under way. It focuses on the effects of new computer and telecommunications technology in conditioning the policy choices of nation-states in both the less and more economically developed regions of the world.
The authors analyze the new economic context in which nation-states operate, the main issues confronting them, and the way in which the politics of national development should change in the post-Cold War information age. They argue that the new world economy cannot be separated easily from the new world society, and that national and international politics is the cement binding the two.

This important new book by four leading authorities in the field of international political economy highlights the key changes in the global economy over the last three decades and analyses how these have affected the growth potential, development strategies and interconnectedness of nation-states. Particular attention is given to the impact of the revolution in information technologies on the organisation of production and to the economic consequences of the political disintegration of the Soviet bloc.

Charting a New Course: The Politics of Globalization and Social Transformation

Font, Mauricio A.

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers

For decades F. H. Cardoso has been among the most influential of Latin American scholars, his writings on globalization, dependency, and politics having reached a world-wide audience. This book, the third by Cardoso to appear in English, is the first to incorporate essays written during his tenure as president of Brazil. The transformation of Cardoso's economic and political approach is nowhere better documented than in this broad-ranging collection of writings that span Cardoso's early theoretical work through his pragmatic agenda for Brazil in a rapidly changing world economy. The book also traces the development of one of the world's leading intellectuals, who took theory into the arena of policy when he became head of state.

Entre 27 de outubro e 20 de novembro de 1997, o jornalista Roberto Pompeu de Toledo, ex-editor executivo de Veja, foi recebido pelo presidente Fernando Henrique Cardoso para nove sessões de entrevista na biblioteca do Palácio da Alvorada. Este livro é o resultado desses encontros -- um depoimento de vinte horas. Não se trata apenas da mais extensa entrevista de Fernando Henrique: é a primeira de um presidente no poder que se transforma em livro ainda durante sua gestão. É também a mais abrangente, incluindo uma grande gama de temas, abordados pelo entrevistado pela dupla lente de sociólogo e político. Alguns dos assuntos discutidos: religião e sociedade; violência e drogas; o papel da imprensa; a montagem do Plano Real; preconceito racial; presidentes do passado; o papel dos militares;Nordeste; a herança da escravidão na formação da sociedade brasileira. Dividido em 25 capítulos, O presidente segundo o sociólogo é ordenado por temas, para que o leitor possa ir direto ao que mais lhe interessa.
